Appraisal
A former gate lodge to Mount Grange, which retains much of its original character. The oversailing eaves anchor the building, while the corner pilasters articulate its form. Set behind a fine entrance sweep, which retains decorative render detailing and excellent double-leaf gates, it is a notable addition to the streetscape.
